    To be fair, his audition would be against a tanking Memphis.

    I'll be starting the brisket for my brother's Seder (brisket best cooked in advance) so will be watching but not commenting for a while. Once the brisket starts to braise I can put in my $.02.

    He doesn't have to shoot threes (although he was 40%+ in college). I would rephrase the question: Given Napier is the starting point guard for this game, would I rather see Pat or Wade as the backup PG?

    My order of players I would want to see play the point (assuming another PG isn't in the game):

    Dame
    Napier
    ET/Baldwin (tie)
    CJ
    Pat

    BTW, the only 5-man lineup on 82games with CJ at the point, with no other PG is credited with a 33% win rate.

    Just make sure there's a chair for Elijah and an orange on the plate.

    No that is the opposite of what I am saying. You might want to read more than just the one post.

    Hmm he had one of his worst scoring games of the season last night yet he still gave the team 5 assist, 4 rebounds, 2 blocks, and 1 steal.
    That is not... NOT much

    CJ's night in my opinion. Think he will have a big game. Also big for the role players to continue their play. Who knows, might bring Meyers back out to have a great game like he did against Memphis in the playoffs. Doubt it but still

    So does Pat, Shabazz, ET, and CJ all play 36 minutes?

    I bet this means Turner is going to play limited minutes.

    I don't. If CJ plays 36 minutes, Shabazz, ET, and Pat play 32 minutes, they leaves 12 minutes for WB4.

    Meyers will play 12 minutes at point guard, so Turner will only have to play 24 minutes.

    In those 12 minutes, he will make 6 of 10 swish3s, pull down 14 rebounds, dish out 8 assists and block 7 shots.

    This will help us get to the 112 points desired to enjoy greater success at winning.

    You forgot the word "margin". Gotta include "margin" somewhere in there.
